Favorite Sports Team: We are a house divided with two of my kids at WSU and one at UW; I plead the 5th on this question!!

Favorite College Experience: I transferred to UC Irvine from community college as a re-entry single parent, so my undergraduate experience was non-traditional, but amazing nonetheless! I loved getting involved in undergraduate research, and was really lucky to have the opportunity to be part of several research labs and also to do my own study with a faculty mentor for my honors thesis.

Advice for transfer students: Plan for your transfer early! Don’t put off meeting with admissions advisors, we care and are here to help you!! Get our help to create an academic transfer plan ASAP to be as efficient as possible with meeting admission requirements – it can be very overwhelming and confusing, thus easy to miss details or important deadlines.

Main Attraction at UWB: UW Bothell has the intimacy of a small liberal arts college with the opportunities of a major public research university – truly the best of both worlds!
